The H&H Climax was essentially a modified Scott "Crystal Cocking Indicator ". It is my under standing ,from the unofficial history of Webley & Scott, that Hollands bought the tooling and rights to the gun from Scotts. They changed the cocking rod from pull to push and did away with the window.
If you compare this gun to a Dominion you can see a direct line of descent. Again the cocking changes to "levers" rather than rods and the Holland/Southgate ejectors added.
It is a long time since I handled one,I sleeved it, but most of the ones in the UK that I have seen are pretty well shot out and are mainly collectors items , although I have no doubt some one will tell me otherwise.
